I'm told by one of the banned-for-lifers that board manager Izzet Zorlu leaves it to the moderators whether to lift such a ban or not.

▶ I petition the moderators to consider such an amnesty for all life long banned people on this board, who could be re-installed in their membership under the banned nickname.

Reasons for my request:

1 : Freedom of speech - within the board rules - must be must remain the major rule on this board.

2 : There would be no more reasons for double or triple ID's on this board - which is a confusing and annoying situation for new and old C44 members.



Let's see if it works - banning again is easy enough, although hopefully not necessary.

@ msg 5, philbailey: Never mind, it must be my obvious lack of the world famous (in the UK...) British sense of humour. The reason may be that Holland was never influenced by British occupiers. Usurpers Spain, France, Germany - they left their traces, including "humour".

The only Englishman who tried to rule "The Republic of the Seven United Netherlands" was the Earl of Leicester, Queen Elisabeth's favourite if I remember well - but his humour (hanging some unruly Netherlanders) and his military 'help' was almost fatal for Hollands forebear during the 80 Year War against Spain.

I hope you now understand why Britishers and I are different...

Well DC. i must commend you on the most sensible post ever on cyprus44,it does make sense what you are saying,as im tired of defending david or talking for him,but of course i shall carry on if need be.



@ least if he has his posting name back i wont be accused of being him,or him being me.



Now here is a question for all,do any of you actually know why zero was banned,because im sure it was not really anything to do with the board as such,and if any mod says it was,would they like to show the facts,or was it more of a clash of personalities in direct emails back and forth from zero and the mods and david speaking his mind in emails,which in my mind has nothing to do with the board.



Anyway,lets hope that a posative sensable conclusion can come of this post of your DC.



And i know my spelling is not great,but as david says,i can count!

Dont have any problem with rescinding the bans but I dont think it would change anything about double or triple id's. How about if the banned members write to moderators giving all their multiple id's and passwords. The passwords can then be changed by moderators to something unrecoverable and the multiple id's would then be unusable. This would at least show that the banned person is willing to abide by the rules. Then we could have a post which tells us of all the rescinded id's, without mentioning names or original id's or alternatively they could be laid quietly to rest.

many many users have double /tripple user names this is ignored by the mods to a degree .



The idea mooted by d/c is commendable, I would think if the perceived offenders agree not to participate in the actions that led to the ban and agreed not to post under any other user name they may have this could be a way forward.

I also agree with Dutch's proposition.

Although I quote from msg 1...

"I'm told by one of the banned-for-lifers that board manager Izzet Zorlu leaves it to the moderators whether to lift such a ban or not."



So who are the moderator(s) that "actively" moderate the board at present? Excluding: Simbas & Harold

I agree with you,DC.Possibly the answer to "double/treble etc "indentifications,if they trespass again,then it is an automatic ban...maybe not for life but eg a year.

and then......another transgression...life !!!!



Perhaps we can be enlightened who is suffering a "life ban " at present.



I know some who have deserved it !!!!!

@ msg 39, dizzycows: As far as I understand the set-up of C44 there's a member database. It must only take seconds to search and find all "lifers".

I think it's more important to have the moderators involved in this thread. I've seen Simbas on line most of the day and No1Doyen in the morning (until I left home to plat chess). Are they waiting to give their opinion? If so, why?

Hans so we have 3 'banned for life' members, You forgot your friend 'Minertor' so by my reckoning that makes 4.

Why do you think they were banned for life?



I have no problem with Minertor coming back as he has been the only one to accept that (despite warnings) he crossed the line and I admire him for accepting that he fell out of line. But you will remember what that was all about I guess.



With regards to Zerochlor he knew exactly why he was banned but maybe he has changed his ways.



With regards to our friend 'John' aka Pike, the guy has no respect for the TRNC, does not live here and despite what anyone else thinks I know for sure that he does not own property in the TRNC.



Oh I guess that leaves our Nige. Which I think is the main reason for you posting this thread.

Unfortunately Nige in all of his re-incarnations has not proven that he can behave himself.

Now I do not moderate on the board I have no concerns either way about any of the 4 that have been banned for life

@ msg 62, sienna: (...) why don't you all go and play with them there if you miss them that much (...)

▶ It's not a matter of missing the banned-for-lifers - to be honest I will certainly not start to correspond with some of them (again). That's my choice and prerogative. But at least we all would know to whom we are or are not replying. I think I made that advantage of a general pardon clear in my message 1.

I am pro civilised debate and pro giving (mainly Cyprus) information on this board - I think I prove that time and time again. And if, after a return of the "lifers", messages get personal or nasty (again) I will mail the moderators and ask to delete such messages. In my experience the moderators act this way if they think you're right.

So I don't see any reason why we should not try my proposal, a practical solution, in msg 1.

I thoroughly agree with Hans!



For goodness sake, let's let bygones be bygones!



The reason most of the 'banned for life' contributors were banned is because they weren't 'backward in coming forward'!



Imagine 'our favourite Australian bard' content were to be banned, or deleted - how dull life would be!

Awaiting the moderators' decision now (and if possible an explanation in case the decision would be negative).

It appears all would run smooth, should the banned " for life " brigade were to return since the mod who was behind one if not all the bans in no longer a mod personality conflict removed.



bring back Britvic she broke no published rule .

I propose we start another petition to ban more people for life-you know the ones that make personal attacks on other members and their business's.

ismet Were they ever leopards as most are members on other forums and have not been banned on them, so perhaps they were perceived as leopards when in fact they were /are pussy cats.

Not quite sure what you had for breakfast but cut down on the sugar and/or caffeine.



Statement: I am not a 'moderator' of Cyprus44 and I have no moderating powers. I am a member of this board the same as you.

Let's not worry about whether the 'personal attack' was factually correct, eh ?



Certainly glad you aren't a mod....

the boat was rocked it took hard work to get the troublemakers off the boat why let them back on to rock it again.



I feel the forum has got back to some normality apart from a few that come on from time to time making wild statements - never go backwards always move forward



I agree with Ismet .. plus the moderators use thei own time why put them on red alert with the very people that caused so many problems in the past !

Its how you perceive the problems isn't it, most members have a spat with out resorting to life bans etc.



Most don't have a go at every one, its usually personality clashes that meander out any way after a time..



Most of the banned lifers were very much this forum!!!!



Bring them all back ....

I quite agree with what dizzycows says,some of the arguments were between the same people,personality clashes maybe or each other prodding one an other in the right way to gain a reaction,it still happens now,the board is no different than it was 12 months ago.

Sienna,even boats go backwards.



The board will always have its squabbles,thats part of the debate,every one cannot always agree with each other and you should not ban people who cannot agree with a certain member.



Some get banned for there openess or free speech,or that is how it seems.



Ok the board has rules,we all know rules have been broken in all walks of life.



Izzet. I once knew a man in the UK,he was a drug addict and whilst in jail and going to church he saw the "light" as he puts it,he has never used drugs in the last 10 years and is also a church helper now,CAN A LEOPARD CHANGE ITS SPOTS. i ask you the same question.

AJ message 44.

How do you know for sure Pike doesn't have a house here?

We have been making sure his rental tenant is paying the bills on his house for quite some time.

So i am interested on where you got your info from?? He owns a house here!

If any member really believes that he/she has really changed his/her spots, why not write to the moderators privately and explain the situation? I am sure the moderators will be very happy to see any evidence of this.

Its very possible you have been written too as all of the mods have going back over 1 month so im told,but still no answer as such,only that they are still waiting for replie from 1 mod,seems along time for mods to have to wait for replies from each other!

It seems that if you are replying to a topic on here and the session hasn't timed out - that even though a mod has closed a thread - it IS possible to post - not knowing the thread WAS closed.... !!

"Factually correct" ?

What ! Like - 'don't get Digiturk installed because, some time in the future, if there is a settlement to the Cyprus problem, Digiturk will be illegal in Cyprus and you will have wasted your money' or, 'hey guess what, if your auntie had a pair of test**les, she'd be your uncle'

Pure speculation or, wishful thinking and I'm pleased to say that you have a Masters Degree in it !

On it's own it's 'almost' humour, but add malice and it is 'very' naughty !

Your are just 'very' bitter because you couldn't make a success of the satellite business in Cyprus and ended up back in the UK playing online poker for a living !

DC, it was a good suggestion but as seems to be the norm on this forum, the thread dissolved into inane off-topic drivel. See msg 103 for a classic example.

Read 6ms message 101 and tell me what you do not understand about it.

What I posted was fact and it has been known for some time that there is a glitch in Cyprus44 software that allows people to post for maybe 5 minutes after a thread has been closed.



I really do not care about your breakfast but what I do care about is you getting your facts right.

And I re-iterate that I am not a moderator and I have no moderating powers. I would suggest that you print this posting out and read it at breakfast tomorrow after reading your copy of the Sun/Mirror and then apologise.

AJ I personally doubt that you are capable of reading anything other than the Beano or Dandy as most of your rhetoric is rather infantile to put it mildly, your post was made over 10 minutes after the topic was closed, so let me say I do not believe you 'end of'

Billybob.



The other day,simbas closed a thread,whilst the thread was closed i was able to reply to that thread some 2 hours later as when i came home the thread was still open on the page where you would make a reply,so i made a reply and the post went back to the top,what it is your being told is the truth,really,in fact,the post was closed at post 28,but ended up with 34 posts of possibly 35,most being mine after it was closed,i think NO1Doyen then deleted all the posts from 28 onwards.

It is a little glitch in cyp44 program.



I had not realised the thread was closed until after i had posted so many times,with not being so computer savvy i always end up with lots and lots of windows open.

I was on holiday when this thread was started and knew nothing about it until now. So it would appear that I have Hans Doleman to thank for my return, I would also like to thank dizzycows who was emailing the Admin team (without my knowledge).

I have heard say on here many times that people who are banned 'wear it like a badge of honour!' Not me I was embarrassed and ashamed, when I went to post the day I was banned and saw in the reply box that I had got an 11 year ban I was physically sick, and thought "Crikey who did I murder?"

All in the past now though, if I was naughty I apologise.
